London on a knife-edge

posted by: Nick L | on: Friday, 2 May 2008, 18:18

It seems London is on a knife edge. I am hearing conflicting stories about the strength of the BNP vote. It is clear that they have polled well in Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge and Haverving, though of course less well in the inner London boroughs.

The BNP is vying with Respect for third place in City and East, the constituency that covers Tower Hamlets, Newham and Barking & Dagenham.

Their lowest vote appears to be in Haringey, where the HOPE not hate campaign, and Matthew Collins in particular, spent many a hour pounding the streets.

Are the BNP going to get over the 5%? Richard Barnbrook is confident, some journalists don't think so but to be honest no-one has a clue.

why have no constituencies declared yet? surely it's quicker to count them the mayor and top-up results?
